Cub Scout Leader Outdoor Webelos Leader (OWL) & Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) Training

Cub Scout Leader
OWL & BALOO Training
Outdoor Webelos Leader & 

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation

What is OWL & BALOO Training?
This training was created to introduce leaders to the outdoor skills that their Cub Scouts will be
using. For Webelos leaders this training course covers the skills and resources needed to teach the four
outdoor activity badges and helps all leaders provide good and safe outdoor experiences.
Generally these are two-one day courses that run an entire day each. Several districts in our council
have taken the information from each course and have dove-tailed them so that participants get the same
information in only one day.

Who can attend?
Any leader from any district that wishes to learn about the outdoor components to Cub Scouts!
Registration ends on April 6 . So that we have enough supplies, walk-in registrations will not be accepted.

Where is this training held?
At the
South Field Road Building  -  650 S South Fields Road, Heber, Utah

When is this training held?
Saturday April 13, 2013
Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. and the training goes until 4:00 p.m.

Why?
Because “every boy deserves a well trained leader” &
we believe leaders deserve to have the opportunity to get the tools they need to succeed.

How much?
$10 per participant

***Please note that for a while the registration process will only allow you to register, and is not accepting
